Energy Conservation through Improved Lighting

Lighting accounts for a major portion of the energy used on campus, so it is a major
focus in our energy conservation strategy.

Buildings

In 2006, 25 buildings campuswide received improved lighting in classrooms, offices
and hallways. This reduced the energy consumption of the campus by 10%, saving over
one million dollars per year.

In 2009 King Library received an upgrade to three major lighting fixture types (over 6,000 individual
fixtures), resulting in a reduction in consumption of over 20% of the total energy
used by the building, as compared to the previous year.
